In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Than I have to hold him until he swallows it so he doesn't spit it out. This is just so much fun!! Yeah, right! I've got him *up* to 2-3 large, hard turds per day but I've only been forcing the Petromalt down his throat for about 3 days. If this doesn't get him going, he's going to have to go in for an enema, which, believe me, he's gonna love!! All this, and when your hands hurt anyway, it makes it a bit of a struggle. Even though Cinnamon may be older than me (in cat years), hey, I'm the boss and what I say is what's gonna happen. So.......by gosh and by golly, he's gonna poop!! But -------- can you say tired?? You're bored - I'm worn out. And you've got a WW meeting tonight? Yep, very long day for you! I hope the day goes by more quickly for you than you think." on 7:51:09 am, Thu, 08/09/07

  • YUCK! I don't envy you! For some reason, mine won't eat that petromalt anymore either. Mega colon sounds nasty! Darn, on top of everything else, this is all you need! I had to use one of those fiber powders on Julie once, and it is tasteless and I put it right in her food and no problem at all. I only needed a quarter teaspoon. I can't remember which brand it was that has no taste. White bottle with green cap I think. Much easier that petromalt - as long as they eat wet food. (NT) -- Ramona, 3:09:57 pm, Thu, 08/09/07
  • Since you mention the green and white bottle, I think you're referring to Benefiber, which we've tried, along with Metamucil, regular mineral oil, vaseline, milk and yogurt (the vet said to try this since most milk products will give a cat loose stools) and both Laxatone and Petromalt. We've even gone the canned pumpkin route. Cinnamon wasn't interested in any of it and the Benefiber and Metamucil actually clogged him up MORE. If it's out there, we've tried it so now we're just back to forcefeeding the Petromalt/Laxatone, which reminds me that I need to pick some more of that stuff up this weekend. Ah, the joys of a constipated cat. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:48:43 pm, Thu, 08/09/07
